Description

Blue Vista is an inspiring lakefront venue and retreat with multiple lodging options. Our campsite is secluded from the rest of the property in a clearing in the trees with gorgeous lake views.

Our jaws dropped the first time we saw the land on which Blue Vista sits. Birds swoop over the glistening lake. White-tailed deer leap between cedar trees on rolling hills. We wanted to share this peaceful feeling with others. Our mission is to support thriving families and communities by providing an inspirational setting for people to connect with nature and each other.

Blue Vista is the perfect home base to explore and enjoy lake life at nearby Tuttle Creek State Park. Situated in the scenic Flint Hills, Tuttle Creek Lake provides 12,500 surface acres of water and 100 miles of shoreline, making it the second-largest lake in Kansas. The property is also conveniently located near Fancy Creek State Park, about a five-minute drive away. In total, six parks around the 11,000-acre Tuttle Creek Lake provide opportunities for camping, fishing, boating, hiking, horse-riding, mountain biking, and off-roading in the stunning Flint Hills.

The Space:
Secluded campsite on larger resort property with beautiful lake views.

Guest Access:
Our campsites are off-the-grid which means they generally do not have access to electricity, wifi, or modern plumbing. Instead, they offer the chance to relax, unplug, and fully experience nature! You'll have the entire campsite to yourself, as you'll be the only Campers enjoying this piece of paradise.

Each campsite includes a 10'x12' safari-style canvas tent on a raised platform, and you'll find one queen bed or a queen-size bunk bed inside (each site is different, see photos for the exact setup). Larger groups can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that’s provided (you’re welcome to bring your own camping gear too). You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, outdoor fire pit, 2 Adirondack chairs, and a heating source to keep you warm and toasty at night.

What you should bring:
-S'mores supplies & any food you'd like to eat
-A cooler to keep your grub from spoiling
-Bedding and pillows
-Lanterns and lighting
-Firewood for the campfire
-Water

Interaction with Guests:
Upon check out, you should leave-no-trace of your stay and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! While this host does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in, and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location on the property.
If there is evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the CampKeeper’s property, you may be charged a cleaning fee of $50. Just make sure to follow the Camper Manual posted at your campsite and you'll be set!

Occupancy: Max occupancy refers to the total number of campers allowed at the site during your reservation. We welcome campers with larger parties, but you may need to bring extra camping gear of your own in addition to the tent that is already provided. Please plan accordingly.

Toilets: Every campsite is equipped with a camp toilet (we call it the Loo). This is a simple wooden box with a toilet seat and a bucket inside. Line the bucket with a CleanWaste bag supplied at the camp (or another appropriate plastic bag) prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. We got this idea from bathrooms used on NASA spaceships, and we've used the Loo countless times ourselves- don't worry!

Showers: Every Signature campsite comes with a Coleman Sun Shower. The sun shower has a reservoir that holds up to 5 gallons of water, potentially enough for multiple showers. It's constructed of heat-locking material that warms the water when it's left in the sun, even on cool days.

Other Things to Note:
Hike or drive through the Off-Road Vehicle Park next door. Don't drive on grass : )
